Did I feel blue?

Howdy,

So I had this pout paint by Sleek sitting in my makeup box for two months. One day I came home and though what the dickens am I waiting for?! So obviously I wacked some on, no mixing or altering and now I know what people mean when they say love at first sight. Blue lips will forever be a part of my staple looks.

The paint is highly pigmented and you only need a very small amount to fully cover the lips (even with juicy ones like mine). All I needed was the size of one and a half grains of rice. The other thing I love about this is that it blends so well with anything. I mixed it with a purple and got the most gorgeous violet colour. The other colours in the rang will definetly be purchaced. I can't wait to get mixing!!

Hope you like and if you have any questions, comments or suggestions comment below.

Remember to always be the best you.

Hey y'all,

So this post is going to be about my outfit of the day (OOTD), hair of the day (HOTD) and face of the day (FOTD) and it is well and truly overdue. I loved the day I took these pictures because I was having a terrible hair day but I still managed to make it work *does a little dance*. So without delay, here it is....

Please excuse the shower puff in the back,
You know how we be doing bathroom
modelling.

The FOTD was a very slightly smoky eye and a nude lip. However, because we like to keep it jazzy I added a dark lip liner (currant, MAC) for a bit of fun. 

I was going to Church so I wasn't looking for anything too extravagant and this look was just right.

Hair of the day...

So it is a sad story, but I shan't bore you with all that, I'll give you the short (ish), sweet version. I wanted to try a twist out with quite small twists, to see what kind of definition I would get, to see if it would last longer and if it was easier to style. So I went on ahead and did my twist out on the Saturday night. On Sunday, I did my makeup then started taking down the twists all excited about how I was going to style it and I was met with a crazy defined but uncontrollable head of hair. I wanted to have it out to show off some of the definition but it was not happening.

These pictures were taken by my dear
brother who neglected to tell me my hair
 was trying to escape.

  

So after fighting with my mane for twenty minutes (!!! for me it was like a life time) I grabbed all the bobby pins I owned and set about tucking it all away. To be honest I wasn't expecting much but when I finished I was beyond happy with the result.

 The front was rolled almost like I was going to do a quiff and the back was simple rolled up. So simple, yet elegant, and I will definitely never underestimate up dos again.

 So onto the final piece in the jigsaw, OOTD.
Now I've been thinking about getting healthy and loosing weight for a while, so I've not been buying clothes unless it was absolutely necessary BUT, when I saw this dress in River Island, I fell in love. I'm a curvy girl so if I'm wearing something clingy it has to be strategically done and the panels on this dress, did me justice (even if I do say so myself.) It's midi length so it's not to short and to top it all off it was only £35. I will happily wear this dress until it gets too big for me or it falls apart, which ever comes first.

My accessories from top to bottom, earrings are from Primark, Necklace is Aldo, bracelet is Primark and my watch is also from Aldo.

So it has been a long one but I hope you enjoyed.
Ciao for now and remember to be the best you.

Hi guys, It's me again.

So the excitement has overwhelmed me and even though my nails aren't even dry, I want to share my new discovery.

Velvet Manicure

Just before Christmas I was having a wander around Boots and Superdrug, as you do, and two new products by MUA (available at most Superdrug stores) caught my eye.

Nail Caviar

For those who are fans of nail art, you will be familiar with Ciate, and their amazing textured manicures which come in three forms, nail caviar, velvet manicure and sequin manicure. For those looking to do something different with their nails, their products are perfect only downside is the price point. At £18, per set, if you wanted to do a multicoloured look it could cos you a pretty penny.

Hence why I was so excited to find these beauties!

They are based on the same idea as as the nail caviar bead but at a fraction of the price. I picked these beads up for £3 a bottle and the 'FUR-EFFECT' nail pots for £3.

So the idea is that you pour the bead or flocking (the velvety stuff) onto wet nail varnish and dry. Sounds simple right? It is but still requires a little practise, patience and willingness to sweep up small beads from your floor.

I was really happy with the turn out. The textured was an appreciated break from the norm and I will definitely be playing about with the colours.  

The main downside to this manicure is that it is very short lived. It lasted about 36 hours and started to look a little dirty and the beads started falling off :(, but for a night out this manicure is perfect.

Hope you enjoyed the look and remember to be the best you.
